There are no elevators but they will carry your bags up or down for you. Friendly helpful staff. The outdoor bar/pool area was my favorite. The room I had was fine, a bit on the old side, but clean. I liked supporting a locally owned hotel vs a Marriott or Sheraton. I felt less of a tourist. For the area, the cost of the hotel was more reasonable. So depending on what you are looking for, I’d recommend it. It worked perfectly for me.

A delightful property, very groovy, small, which is nice as opposed to the multiple room, high-rise commercial hotels. The staff, for the most part were friendly, although the lack of communication was rather inconvenient, as I had intrusive phone calls and knocking at my door, as I extended my reservation a couple times and they did not always get notes. I need a place to rest and the barrage of phone calls and knocking on my door because of the miscommunication between staff was intrusive.

Well, the white sounds is a delightful little getaway in Waikiki, and I stayed at many hotels there, the lack of communication with staff is staggering. I extended my nights as needed, and was constantly woken up or disturbed by staff, asking me how much longer I was staying. They need to work on their communication skills. Otherwise The bar staff and the swings at the bar and the pool set up is charming, and wire. It’s not the four seasons, it is still a fun experience!

Management did not have our reservation (made through Expedia) - finally resolved after several hours delay. Although we paid for our AMENITIES FEE with cash at check-in, we were billed on our credit card when we got home. Attempts through email and text message to the hotel have been left UNRESPONDED. WAKE UP call that was requested never came through. Front desk said they had no record of it.

Felt like an old apartment turned hotel. I can see they put money into trying to make this a trendy spot. But the pictures got me, and it is way less trendy or a destination than imagined. I didn't eat there so I cant attest to the food, but at lunch time not many people were eating there. The room iteself was large, kinda like a studio apartment. Bathroom was fine,. shower was quirky with a step up and there is no elevator so we had to lug our luggage up stairs. all in all not bad, but likely wouldn't book again.

Property itself was clean and well maintained, however, on the morning of our checkout, we were inspecting the room a little closer to make sure we didn’t miss anything. When we looked under our beds, we found clothing and a medical bracelet from who I’m assuming was the previous guest. That did concern us to the level of cleaning our room had undergone before we checked in. The water pressure in the bathroom was also VERY low and tight space in the shower. We did bring this up to the employee at check out, but he did not appear concerned or apologetic for the issue of the clothing that we expressed. Other than that snafoo, the hotel was very walkable, staff were otherwise nice and helpful, and we used valet services for the duration of our stay. Valet was on the slower side in the morning - we would use the QR code to have our car called and ready, but it never was. We always had to find an employee to grab the car for us (again, we were never in a rush to go anywhere but it was not a big issue for us). I did like that the hotel was not directly on the Waikīkī strip. As a result, it wasn’t too loud at night. A lot of the big name hotels also had employees on strike so it was nice to not have to deal with that.
